Chapter 273: Raiders of the Lost Ark (I)
Kikukawa Yukinari came back late, and he had a little excitement on his face. Thinking about it, Kikukawa Yasuichi suppressed him for many years, and today he finally collapsed, one of the biggest worries in his heart has disappeared, and he can personally take someone to check the other party's residence, which is really all the anger he has suffered for so many years. At this moment, under his pride, even when facing Luo Di and the others, his expression was a little forgetful,
Luo Di didn't show the slightest injury in front of him, but Nitis felt a little unhappy when she saw him so proud, and couldn't help but sneer: "Young Master Kikukawa, can you be proud now? Do you think you have obtained the right to inherit?
Kikukawa Yukinari was stunned for a moment: "Even if it's not now, it's about the same, right?" He rolled his eyes, and said: "At the beginning, you said that my brother colluded with the Roland people to invade, and now my brother has collapsed, so when will the Roland people retreat?"
Nitis had already said coldly, "What are you anxious about? Do you think you can sleep and relax now?"
Looking at this dazed Kikukawa Yukinari, Nidis sighed in her heart and said in a deep voice, "You haven't thought about why your brother would do such a disobedient stupid thing today?"
"......" Kikukawa Yukinari finally calmed down a little, thought about it for a while, and then said: "Is it for the inheritance?" Then he himself shook his head first and said: "It's not like it, if it's for the inheritance, then as long as he waits patiently for a few years, he may not be able to get it." In his eyes, there was no need to worry about me at all. ”
Nidis glanced at him and said coldly, "Also, the situation in the council hall today." Don't you understand? With your brother alone, does he dare to do this? And why did the old general leave this matter to you and not let Oda Nobunaga ......?"
"You mean the Thousand Riders ......" Kikukawa Yukinari's face changed, and he couldn't help but exclaim.
Nidis watched the change in the other party's face with satisfaction, patted Kikukawa Yukinari's shoulder hard, and said gently: "Okay, as long as you honestly listen to my arrangement, I will keep you as a general!"
Sending off the nervous Kikukawa Yukinari, Nices also instructed him not to show suspicion of Oda Nobunaga.
Luo Di's face was gloomy, and he said coldly: "What." Do you really want to help this guy take the throne?"
Nidice shrugged her shoulders and smiled sly: "Of course then! It has already promised me the full authority to run Temu! If he can't be a general, who will I ask for money!"
Roddy sighed and ignored Nice's nonsense. He closed his eyes and examined his body carefully.
The delivery of that temple was on the back of the Indyna, and the power in it was a little strange. Roddy still feels as if there is a strange power flowing in his body, and this power is not the same as his own energy. If Luo Di sits and lies down, it doesn't matter, but as long as he tries to run his fighting qi a little, he immediately feels that in his chest, several strange energies are stirring and colliding together, like boiling water, and it feels as if those violent energies are about to break through his chest ** and burst out of his body!
"What the hell. Roddy sighed. It's just that time is pressing now, and Roddy said to Nitice in a deep voice: "Let's prepare, we will go to the forbidden place of the palace tonight to check!"
"What?, go now?" Nydith was startled, and looked at Roddy with some doubt in her eyes. frowned and said, "But you ...... now"
"Hmph, I can't die. Roddy said proudly, and then his face showed a little frustration again: "That temple guy is also hitting the attention of that thing of the dwarves, and now we have clashed head-on." He's going to make it to the palace tonight!If we don't want to go home empty-handed, we have to act sooner."
Nidis suddenly smiled and said: "You are more alarmist, I won't go with you, you will stay here honestly tonight, and when you are better tomorrow, I don't care where you like to go." ”
Luo Di smiled bitterly: "If you don't want to go, follow you, I must go anyway." He had already jumped off the soft collapse and stretched his body, his face was as usual, and he was about to stride out.
Nidis stopped him, leaned across the doorway, and whispered, "Stop!"
She raised her head, her eyes were full of concern, and she gritted her teeth and said: "You are really a madman, you have suffered such a big loss today, if you change to someone else, you should desperately preserve your strength at this moment, think hard about the opponent's weaknesses behind closed doors, and only when you are fully prepared will you find a way to take revenge, you are good, you are in such a hurry, are you going to die?"
Luo Di pulled her away and said lightly: "It's not necessary to send her to death, I'm afraid there is no one in this world who can kill me!"
He was already striding outside. Nedice stamped her foot in hatred, but still followed.
Roddy had already run away, and the old magician, who had just laid down, cried. Although he didn't like the Sith to use himself to seize that thing, now his own strength was damaged, and the other party was a domain powerhouse. It's always a little more certain to be followed by a master.
When the Sith heard that it was a forbidden place to go to the palace, he naturally refused to refuse. He had already prepared a lot of things for this trip, and as if by magic, he took out two blue gems from his arms and stuffed them to Roddy and Nice, and said in a low voice: "You can take this well, and when necessary, you can be invisible!"
Nidith glanced at the old magician with disdain, and without saying a word, shoved it back to the Sith. But he strode in the direction of Mount Kinabalu.
Although none of the three members of the Imperial Palace have ever been there, it is extremely easy to find the location of the Imperial Palace in Kyoto, as long as you go in the direction of Mount Kinabalu.
The three of them are all extremely clever and strong, although Nitice's strength is much worse, but she has the "blood escape**" of the blood clan, and she is the strongest of the three in the ability to hide her own traces. easily infiltrated the palace of the Eight Miscellaneous Kingdom, and the imperial palace of the Eight Miscellaneous Kingdom does not seem to be too large, which may have something to do with the fact that the royal power of the Eight Miscellaneous Kingdom is not prosperous. It's just a low-rise building, but it faintly highlights a bit of simplicity and elegance, among which the pavilions, the style of the building is unseen and unheard of by Roddy.
Occasionally, a few strangely dressed master attendants walked up and down carrying lanterns made of gauze, and these people had serious faces, but they were all dressed in green clothes, both men and women. He walked with a heartfelt look, as if he was afraid of stepping on an ant.
Roddy held the invisibility enchantment gem given by the old magician in his hand. I swaggered through the palace, and gradually came to the shore of a lake behind the palace.
Looking up, the snow on the top of the mountain was beautiful, and standing at the foot of the mountain, I could feel the cool air hitting my face.
"The cave ** that Kikukawa Yukinari said, it must be in front of it, but it seems that you have to cross this lake first......"
Nitis sighed, looked at the big lake in front of her, which was more than ten miles in circumference, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "That Kikukawa Xingcheng is so interested." I originally heard him say that he had a tryst with some princess, and I thought that the so-called forbidden place should be in the backyard of their palace, but I didn't expect to go so far......"
There are a few small painted boats parked on the shore of the lake, small and exquisite, with the boats pointed up at both ends. It was as if a few bends of the moon were sinking in the water.
Roddy pointed to the boat and whispered, "Why row, you're not ......"
Roddy's eyes widened, and he glared at Nidith fiercely. stopped her from continuing to speak, and then said lightly: "Take a closer look around, although we can be invisible, but in the middle of the night, if someone sees an empty boat with no one in the middle, they are rowing in the lake by themselves." That's going to scare people to death, too. ”
Nidith obediently and Roddy untied the ropes of a boat, and the three of them jumped into the boat and gradually rowed away from the shore. It's just that this clever woman has another thought in her heart......
Well, it turns out that he doesn't want others to know that he has the ability to walk underwater...... I might as well put this to good use. Now that I know this secret of his. If you want me to keep it a secret for him, you have to ask for some benefits!
Now that the night was getting dark, the boat was paddling on the empty lake, and when it looked up, there was no moon in the sky tonight. There were only a few dim stars, and the cold wind that blew faintly from the sacred mountain in the distance swept around the people. Nitice couldn't help but shudder.
And the surroundings are really quiet, which makes people feel uneasy. It stands to reason that in this season, in this kind of lake under the mountain, where the grass and trees are thick, there are always some small beast creatures coming out at night. But Niceh listened carefully, and did not say anything, not even the night song of the birds. All I heard was the sound of the pulp hitting the water...... One time...... Double-click......
Luo Di also felt a little strange in his heart, and felt that this feeling was a little inexplicably familiar......
He suddenly realized that in the fiefdom of the Imperial Tulip Family, there was a monster in the lake in the middle of the Tulip Family's hunting ground, and when he and the hunter Dak, and the Light Moon Dance explored the lake at night, there were no creatures around!
The atmosphere here today is somewhat similar to that day.
Thinking of the thrilling encounter that night, Roddy secretly felt a little vigilant in his heart.
The boat gradually rippled into the middle of the lake, and suddenly I heard a commotion, and several black figures suddenly burst out from under the water on both sides of the boat!
These figures rushed out from the bottom of the water without warning! Their bodies jumped to a height of three or four meters in the air, and when they saw a few arms waving, Roddy heard the sound of whizzing through the air, and it reacted extremely quickly, and the pulp in its hand had been lifted, waving like a whirlwind, and it heard the snatching and snatching...... There was a dense sound, and countless tiny metal iron objects struck the pulp in his hand.
The figures missed the blow and had already fallen to the bottom of the lake.
Before the three of them could speak, they heard a shrill voice, and in the exclamation of Nidis, she had already bounced up and put her arms around Roddy's neck. I saw a bright blade suddenly appear on the bottom of the ship! The blade slammed into the bottom of the ship several times, and then four or five knives came up from the bottom of the ship at the same time.
Roddy snorted coldly and said loudly to the Sith: "Keep paddling, don't stop!", he suddenly leaned down, gently touched the surface of the water with one palm, and said lightly: "Break!"
I saw that the water surface on the side of the boat, which was originally calm, suddenly rippled a few deep waves, and then I saw a few fierce tossing under the water......
Luo Di used his domain control method to change the fluctuations of the water flow rapidly, although the water surface looked calm, but he had already made several unusually rapid undercurrent whirlpools underwater, and the sneak attackers who were originally hiding under the water were immediately swept into the whirlpool.
When Roddy's boat had rowed some distance, he saw three or four figures floating on the water, and these people were no longer moving, apparently dead.
Roddy's face remained unchanged. He was deeply aware of the power of his shot just now, the underwater water vortex was like a huge rotating grinding disc, that kind of strong pressure, even steel could be squeezed and deformed, not to mention the ** of the human body?
Two voices. Two figures jumped out from the side of the boat again, but unlike the black figures just now, these two guys were actually wearing white clothes, dripping and spinning in mid-air, and landed steadily in the bow and stern of the boat!
Only then did Roddy see the appearance of these sneak attackers.
They were dressed in white tight-fitting clothes. The costume was somewhat similar to a samurai costume, but it wrapped their whole body so tightly that not a trace of skin was exposed, and even their hands were covered with a kind of leather gloves. And one face was covered, and he couldn't see his true face clearly, and his head was tightly bandaged with a white turban, and a pair of eyes were exposed up and down his body.
The two men pulled out the narrow katana they were wearing at the same time, and they didn't shout or make a sound, but their movements were extremely tacit. At the same time, he raised his knife and stabbed at Roddy from both sides!
What made Roddy even more strange was that the movements of these two men were extremely agile and fast, faintly bearing the traces of a beast - the movements were almost not human, as swift as a tanuki!
Roddy's chest was still boiling violently at the moment. I didn't dare to use my fighting spirit more, just reached out to grab the other party's sword, and its movements were much faster than those of the two people.
His palm grabbed the sword of the person in front of him like lightning, and then twisted it hard, and he actually snatched the opponent's sword with his bare hands! He didn't look back, he just kicked back.
The man behind didn't even have time to dodge before he was kicked in the chest, and a few clicks were heard. Apparently even the bones were broken by Roddy's kick, and his body flew sideways and smashed into the water.
Roddy's hand that snatched the opponent's knife didn't stop, he actually held the opponent's blade like this, and smashed the opponent's head with the hilt.
The sneak attacker must have never seen anyone fight like this, so he actually exclaimed, his body retreated sharply, and then in an instant, the whole person turned into a cloud of white smoke and disappeared!
Luo Di couldn't help but whisper: "Evil Gate!"
Nidis gritted her teeth and said, "These are ninjas!
The old magician was already sweating profusely, the magician was not known for his physical strength, he rowed for so long, he was already tired, and he couldn't help but say: "Okay, you come to row, I'll deal with them!"
Roddy and Nidith took the pulp from his hand, and the old magician slowly raised his hands and silently chanted a strange incantation.
As soon as he pronounced the first sentence, Roddy next to him snorted, apparently he could understand the magician's incantation.
"Do you know what he's doing?" said Nidith.
"Hmm. Luo Di nodded simply: "It's magic summoning!"
I saw that the old magician's hand quickly condensed into two balls of black gas, and the two black gases squirmed wildly in his hands for a moment, and suddenly roared out, turning into two long black streams and pouring into the lakes on both sides of the boat!
I saw rolling waves suddenly blooming on the lake on both sides of the boat, and I heard two sharp roars in my ears, one left and one right, and two huge pythons as thick as buckets sprang out from the lake on both sides of the boat at the same time!
The giant python's thick body rolled back and forth in the lake water on both sides, startling many ninjas who were originally hidden in the water to appear one after another, and they all swam out in all directions. But there are still one or two unlucky ones who were bitten by the python and thrown out after a few shakes.
The two giant pythons are like two pioneers, one left and one right escorting Roddy's boat.
The old magician stood at the bow of the boat, his hands raised all the time, and the words in his mouth, apparently in control of the two serpents.
Suddenly, I heard the big snake on the left roll violently, and for a moment the movement was so great that the waves almost overturned Roddy's boat! With a bang, a cloud of crimson blood erupted in the darkness, and one of the huge head of the giant snake had fallen, and the rest of its body twisted weakly a few times, and finally sank to the bottom of the lake.
A ninja in a dazzling gold-colored straitjacket sprang out of the water, floated like a feather and landed on the stern of the ship, pointed the long knife in his hand at Roddy, and whispered, "Stop the boat immediately!"
Luo Di snorted coldly, and the boat pulp in his hand smashed over, but the boat pulp hit the man firmly. Roddy felt empty!
"It's an afterimage!" Roddy immediately flashed through his mind!
Sure enough, Roddy immediately felt an icy chill cut in against his undershirt at the same time!
These ninjas guarding the royal family of the Yaqi Kingdom are really strange, and the strength of this ninja is not very powerful, but this method of stealth sneak attack is very set, and I don't know what method he used just now. Even Roddy's eyes were deceived - of course, this is only when Roddy was seriously injured in order to preserve his strength and did not expand the field!
It's just that Roddy is strange, and I'm afraid that the golden-clothed ninja is even more strange in his heart!
He obviously cut into the enemy's ribs with a single sword, but the blade only cut through the opponent's clothes, and he could no longer cut into it for even half a minute!
Could it be that this enemy is invulnerable?
This ninja is wearing golden clothes, and he is already the top and master of ninjas, but he has never seen an opponent who can directly resist his blade with **!
Luo Di had already turned around, and he had already choked the other party's neck, and said coldly: "Do you want to kill me? Then I will kill you!"
His fingers strained. The golden-clad ninja immediately couldn't breathe.
Luo Di looked coldly into the eyes of this person, but he could not see a trace of fear in the eyes of the other party...... There was only a dead gray in those eyes!
"Let me ask you, is the forbidden land just ahead?"
The golden-clad ninja was silent, not looking at Roddy. It's just a pair of hands still trying to struggle. Roddy's fingers holding the other party's neck loosened a little, and asked again.
The ninja suddenly gritted his teeth hard, and then tilted his head, and he was out of breath.
Luo Di was stunned for a moment, and saw that blood flowed from the corners of the other party's nose and mouth and eyes and ears at the same time. A frown threw him into the lake.
The rest of the road was much quieter, and no one jumped out of the lake anymore to sneak attack. The old magician also put away the demon snake he had summoned, and slowly sat down on the boat and meditated quietly. Restore mana.
After the boat docked, Roddy pulled Nitis and jumped down, but the old magician carefully took out an enchantment charm in his hand and held it tightly in his hand, and whispered: "I think this place is a little strange, don't be too far away from me!"
"What?" asked Roddy and Nitice at the same time.
The Sith's old face had an unprecedentedly solemn expression, and he said in a deep voice: "I know that if I compare strength, I am inferior to you, but I am much more sensitive than you in the sense of magic fluctuations!"
The old magician took out a chain from his bosom, and it was tied around his neck, and a small silver cross hung underneath it, but in the middle of the cross was a strange gem - this gem was strange, and it was shining with a variety of colors.
"This is my magic test gem. The Sith said in a deep voice, "This thing I made with great care, and it can detect the fluctuations of mana the best...... his tone gradually slowed: "If its color is blue, it means that the surrounding mana fluctuations are weak. If it's yellow, it's a little stronger, and if it's red, it's a strong mana fluctuation......"
Luo Di looked at the gem he held in the palm of his hand, but there were all kinds of colorful lights on it at the same time, Luo Di was stunned and said, "That...... So what does it mean that it's like this now?"
The old magician's eyes revealed a little uneasiness, but he smiled bitterly: "This, even I don't know about it." I've never seen it come out with such a strange reaction!"
